Summary Large multipolar interstitial neurons, isodendritic in their morphology, present in the medullary regions of the cerebellum are described. Histochemically these nerve cells are characterized by an intense acetylcholinesterase activity. On the basis of their morphological criteria and histochemical properties, and in continuation with our earlier study on the interstitial neurons in the white-matter regions of the central nervous system, it is suggested that the interstitial nerve cells form a vast nerve net within the central nervous system, which is an extension of the diffuse reticular formation.
